Peterbilt 352 Interior Dash Trim

Frequently Asked Questions About Peterbilt 352 Interior Dash Trim

What years and models of Peterbilt 352 are compatible with your dash trim pieces?

Our Peterbilt 352 dash trim is designed to fit 1979-1987 model years. These parts are specifically manufactured for the 352 cab configuration and will not properly fit other Peterbilt models like the 359 or 379. Always verify your truck's model year and OEM before ordering, as some late 1987 models may have different dash configurations that require modified trim pieces.

What materials are the dash trim pieces made from, and how durable are they?

We offer dash trim in two primary materials: chrome-plated ABS plastic and polished stainless steel. The chrome ABS pieces provide an excellent shine at a lower cost point and are suitable for show trucks or light-duty applications. Stainless steel trim offers superior durability, resistance to pitting and corrosion, and maintains its finish longer under daily use conditions. Both options are UV-resistant to prevent fading from sun exposure through the windshield.

How difficult is the installation process, and what tools do I need?

Installation typically takes 2-4 hours depending on your experience level. You'll need basic hand tools including Phillips and flathead screwdrivers, trim removal tools, and possibly a 7mm or 9/32" socket for certain mounting brackets. Most pieces use existing mounting holes and clips, though some applications may require drilling small pilot holes. We recommend having a heat gun or hair dryer available to slightly warm plastic pieces for easier fitment during cold weather installations.

What finish options are available, and how do they match existing interior components?

We stock chrome, brushed aluminum, and black powder-coated finishes. Chrome provides the classic bright look that matches factory gauge bezels and switch plates. Brushed aluminum offers a modern, subtle appearance that complements gray or black interiors. Black powder-coated pieces work well with newer custom interiors or for drivers seeking a stealthy appearance. All finishes are designed to color-match OEM Peterbilt interior components from the same era.

Do you sell complete dash trim kits, or must pieces be purchased individually?

We offer both complete dash trim kits and individual pieces. Complete kits include all major trim components: gauge cluster bezel, radio surround, heater control panels, ash tray bezels, and glove box trim. Buying a complete kit typically saves 15-20% compared to purchasing pieces individually and ensures all components have matching finishes. Individual pieces are available for drivers who need to replace specific damaged sections or want to customize their dash with mixed finishes.
